DBUM'S SCHEME.
Governor Poraker Thought He Meant to
Invado Canada,
CrxciNXATI, O., Feb. 20. The Commercial-Gazette
publishes this morning the
following war department circular which
received comment from Adjutant-General
Kellogg in Washington last Monday night:
War Dept., Adx-Gexeual's Office, I
Washington. Nov. 13, 1SS(J. f
To tho Adjutant-General of the Statoor Ohio:
Sir For some time past the war depart
ment, under the order and sanction of tho
secretary of war, has been occupied in the
collection of military information of a gen
eral character, relating not onlv to our
owu country, but to the armies, fortifica
tions, etc. of foreign powers, and a di
vision styled "The Division of Military
Information" has been created in this of
fice, where such information is compiled
and filed for future reference. In the course
of , our examination it h:is become
evident that much valuable data relative
to the national guard ot the several states
and territories can be furnished by the ad
jutant generals thereof, and in this view I
have tho honor to request that you will at
the earliest practicable date supply the in
formation designated concerning the
ti oops of your state. It is especially de
sired that this inquiry and subsequentcor
respoudence in the matter may be consid
ered as strictly confidential, the object of
the department being to obtain this and
like information in a quiet manner and to
preserve the same until needed. 1 am, sir,
very respect full v.
K. C. Drum, Adjutant General.
The adjutant general criticised some re
marks Governor Foraker made concerning
this order and the Commercial Gazette
interviews him as follows:
4 Yes, I have read the remarks of Adjutant-General
Kelton as they are reported
in the newspapers. Kad what I said been
taken m my own language the adjutant
general would not have taken issue with
my statement or offered any criticism upon
it. What I said was that, iuasiuuch as it
was no longer a secret, I could without
impropriety refer to tho fact that at the
time when the negotiations were going on
concerning the Canadian fisheries question,
I was called upon, as I understood other
governors were, to report at once
to tLe adjutant general of tho United
States army the number of Ohio national
guard organizations, and tho number of
men enrolled therein, together with the
maximum strength to which they could
be increased, and also to what degree of
elGciency they were drilled, disciplined,
aimed and equipped, aud how long it
would require to fill our organizations to
their maximum strength and concentrate
the whole force at Cleveland.
"It might also have been stated that the
circular letter asked lor information as to
what number of these men could
tako the field for nine months,
which is the longest time tho
president is authorized to call
out the national guard for service in tho
field; but I did not allude to that fact. I
did not .say, either, that the letter spoke
about the purpose of the call being to m-
de Canada or any other conntrv. in
fact, I made no allusion to Canada except
only to say this hnppeued whuo the contro
versy about the Canadian fisheries was
going on. I said it was no secret, because,
as Adjutant General Kelton inobably
knows, if he has lead the uewspapers. the
matter has been many times spoken of in
the press, aud it 1 am net mistaken,
Governor Beaver (probably ti year ago;
spoke of it in some public way. At any
rate the matter, whatever it muy have
been originally, was no looser confidential
wheal spoke about it. I alluded to it, oot
to impart mlormation, but only to llltis
strate the propriety of maintaining such a
military organization us tha national
guards amounted to.
"Of course J sapposa the call had refer
ence to the Canadian troubles aud this
view of the matter was confirmed when I
learned that Pennsylvania, as I was in
formed, was at tho ximu time asked as to j
how soon she could concentrate her i
ituional guard at Erie, and that
New York was asked the ame as to ,
Buffalo. I do uot have per-onul knowledge
as to those other states, but Mich was the j
information that came to me at the time.
I think any ordinary man wouid conclude
s hat with Ohio. Penusylvauia and New
York concentrating their military strength, j
increased to the maximum, at Cleveland, '
Erie and Buffalo respectively, just at a j
time when a dispute with Canada was at '
its height, the movement had some refer- j
ence to Canatm aud that some serious pur- !
pose was at the bottom of it. i
"But ot course the adjutant general j
knows better, and we must all accept the I
statement as true, 'that it was only a piece i
of fuuuy bu-iuess,' something like" they af- j
terwards c.aimed as to the rebel dag order, j
aud it had no relation to Canada, the fish- j
enes question or anything else of any mo- !
ment. I
"Xow that we know that tne matter had
no relation to Canada or to any thing ebe
objection to having the minutest details of j
knowledge with respect to it. It is a sort j
ot duty all rouua to niase it as runny as j
possible.
The abovo verbatim report has bf en in
spected and approved by Governor Foraker
himself.

to the House Capital
Notes.
Washington, Feb. 20. By special order
today was set apart by tho house for the
opening of the debate on the report of the
committee on the world's fair. The gal
leries were well filled with spectators.
The attendance of members "when the
speaker's gavel called the house to order
was rather scant, but the member present
were evidently busily engaged in prepar
ing for the struggle which is to settle tho
question as to whether a fair is to be held
in 1S92 and if so in what place.
Mr. Candler, of Massachusetts, the
chairman of-the special committee on tho
world's fair, was beset on all sides by
members who wished him to allow them a
few minutes to discuss the report. Xot
many of the applications were granted
and the usual routine business was trans
acted. Mr. Morrill, of Kansas, presented the
conference report on the senate bill to in
crease the pensions of helpless soldiers. The
agreement makes the proposed increase
take effect from the date of passage of the
bill or the issue of surgeon's certificate.
Mr. Morrill explained that the bill in
volved an expenditure of $100,000 or S450.
000 for thi3 year. The report was adopted.
Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, raised the
point of order that the fair bills involved
appropriations and should be considered
in the committee of the whole.
Mr. Candler, of Massachusetts, explained
how the time was to be divided, one hour
to the chairman (himself) and one hour to
each of the contending cities. Tomorrow
the opponents of any bill are to have one
hour and the remainder of tho day was to
be divided between the representatives of
tho several cities. Considerable discussion
followed but no arrangement was reached
and Mr. Candler then took the floor aud
opened the debate, explaining briefly the
provisions of the two bills.
Mr. Flower followed in behalf of New
York.
Mr. Flower was followed by Mr. Mcore,
of Now Hampshire, and Messrs. Covert,
Cummings, Tracy and Quinn, all of New
York, in favor of tho selection of New
York as the site. Mr. Hitt then opeued
tha debate for Chicago. Mr. Adams, of
Illinois, followed Mr. Hitt and continued
with a plea for Chicago. .
Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky,- earnestly
argued in favor of Chicago, sayiug tho
three greatest national celebrations ever
held in this country had been held in tho
east and it was now the turn of the west.
Mr. Cutcheon. of Michigan, spoke for
the great, broad, prosperous west. There
was the seat of tho most rapid progress
the world had ever seen and Chicago was
the most marvelous city tha world had
ever looked upon.
Mr. Taylor, of Illinois, spoke for Chi
cago. He told of the wealth of the country
surrounding Chicago, and the patronage
which could be expected to be bestowed
upon a fair held there.
Mr. Perkins, of Kansas, was in favor of
a fair. Tlie gem cit3, situated upon lake
Michigan, accessible by land and water,
was the proper place for the fair. Taking
up a New York city director-, he rapidly
ran over the list of hotels aud said that he
found other names there but not that of
him first in peace, first m war aud first in
the hearts of his countrymen; and Sheri
dan, who led tho bojs thiough the valleys
of Virginia, his name was not upon a New
York hotel. But the names of Euiope
could bo found there. If this was to be a
European fair, let us go to London Ap
plause. It was to bo for the benefit
of tho patriotic citizens of this
country, it should go to a great
interior city, repiesentative of tho gieat
industries of the country, and hold there
an exposition that would hi an honor to
the country. As to New lorl: hotels, he
would say 'that it costs as much to reacn
them from the landing as it did from Chi
cago to New York. Applause.
Mr. Lawler, of Illinois, continued the
plea for Chicago.
Mr. Chapman, ot Michigan, lonowed in
a glowing tribute to Chicago.
Mr. Frauk. of Missouri, opened the bat
tle for St. Louis.
Mr. Nednughau", of Missouri, followed.
Mr. Stone, of Missouri, enlarged upon
the advantages of St Louis.
Mr. Breckinridge, of Arkansas, lollowed
in the same line.
Mr. Dockerv of Missouri, and Mr. Car-
rutli of Kentucky, presented St. Louis'
claims and Wasnington came in for her
share in the discussion. Messrs. McComas
of Maryland, Lee of Virginia, Coleman of
Louisiana, and Compton and Stockbndge
of Maryland, all spoke m favor of Wash
ington. 'lhe proposed night cession was aban
doned. SAUITDEBS' MURDE2.
The Senate Calls for OSciai Information
on the Subject Boutine Work.
"WAsniXGTOS", Feo. K). Among the bills
reported from committees and placed on
the calendar were the following:
The senate bill to pnwide for the allot
ment of lands in severalty to the Quapaw
Indians in the Indian territory.
Tho houc bill granting right of way to
the Kansas City A; Pacific Riilroad com
pany through the Indian territory.
Tho resolution heretofore offered by Mr.
Chandler, calling on the attorney general
for information as to the assassination at
Qaincy, Fla,, of VT. B. Saunders,
United States deputy marshal, was
taken up and Mr. Pasco resumed
ids remarks on it. He nt
to the cierk's desk and had read various
documents, newspaper articles and pro
ceedings of public meetings, denunciators
of the conduct and character of the United
States circuit court and iu officials in the
northern district of Florida. These repre
sentations, he said, might tend to show !
the cause leading ur to this affair at '
Qnincy. He knew nothing of this matter
himself, but he did know that blunder
had already exhibited bis unwort-iness
for the office which be held. If the killing
cf Saunders was a result of the facts and
circumstances disclosed in the papers read,
then the senate ougnt to have all the
causes which led up to it. The great
truuole in the casc was that the
principal law breakers were the
officers of tha court. These
oflicers wonld nave to lie compelled to
obey the law. to recognize the statutes of
the'Untted fctates. They would have to
learn that the Administration of justice
had to be based upon the law of the land.
"Whenever the court In Florida eschewed
partisanship and administered justice fair
ly there would be no difficulty in having
its writs and summonses respected by the
people of Florida. In conclusion, he offer
ed an amendment directing the attorney
general to inform the senate also whether
any efforts have been made by the depart
ment cf justice to correct the action of the
officers of the court which has resulted iu
partisan juries, made up mainly from one
political party; and, if so, to report the
same to the senate. Also directing the at
torney general to inform tho senate whether
he had any information of an official letter
written by Marshal MiBell. directing the
names of 'true and tried Republicans" to
be furnished for the selection of jurors for
the United States court, and what action
had been taken in reference to these
charges.
Mr. Hawley said tho remarks of the sen
ator from Florida and the amendment of
fered by him seemed to him to be a pre
mature apology for murder. It wa9 evi
dent that the amendment was intended to
mitigate in the judgment of the public
mind a crime fwhich even a Democratic
paper in Florida had stigmatized as a
most brutal, infamous and cowardly mur
der. Tho senator (Mr. Pasco) has repre
sented Saunders as not having been al
ways a good man, and a fair inference
from his remarks would be that there would
not have been much objection to Saunders
being killed if it could have been cloue in
au unobjectionable wa What had the
bad character of Mr. Saunders and of the
administration of justice to do with the
murder of Saunders? He wished that
senator (Mr. Pasco) to understand dis
tinctly that his speech was regarded by
Republicans as an attempt at a sort of
left-handed apology of murder and to
evade investigation.
Mr. Pasco said he had merely called at
tention to the grossly improper way with
which the duties of the United States
judge and marshal in Florida had beau
conducted. He made no excuse for any
body and had expressly declined to discuss
the question.
Mr. Call condemned the killing ot Saun
ders but declared that there were fewer
murders in Florida m the last ten years
than there were in Connecticut or New
Hampshire, or even in the national capi
ital. He alluded to outrages committed
by federal officers in Florida and declared
that it was such acts that had led desper
ate, misguided men to resort to such law
less ucts to protect themselves.
Air. Chandler suid there had been ap
pointed by tho president since the 4th of
March last, a judge of the United States
district court for Florida, district attorney
and marshal. Many indictments have
been found there for election frauds aud
attempts were being made to arrest and try
he offenders. The Democrats of Florida,
as a body, in the section of the state
where these election frauds were commit
ted, were engaged in the defense of those
criminals by killiug the witnesses and
deputy marshals and there was in that
section of the state an absolute rebellion
Hgaiust aud a defiance of tho laws of tho
United States. Mr. Chandler said that it
was the duty of the governor of Florida
and of the senators from Florida to take
sufficient interest in the assassination of a
deputy United States marshal and a wit
ness before the United States court to se
cure if possible the arrest and punishment
of the criminals. But he said
the governor and senators of Florida are
eugaged. in a very different business.
They are hunting down tho district judge
aud tho United States marshal aud tho
district attorney aud the senator (Mr.
Call) is coming hero and defaming the
deaa man (Saunders) on this floor. That
is what they are engaged in.
Mr. Hawley observed that the speech of
the senator from Florida (Mr. Call) would
make him popular in Quuicy aud where
ever tho people were engaged in resistance
to the federal authority.
Mr. Call denied saying anything that
would justify such a statement and moved
to refer the resolution to the judiciary-
committee. The motion was rejected
yeas 19, nays 'Si.
On motion of Mr. Chandler, Mr. Pasco's
amendment was laid on the table yeas 23,
nays IS and the resolution calling on tho
attorney gener.d for information as to the
assassination of Saunders was agreed to
without division.
The educational bill was then taken up,
and Mr. Blair proceeded with his argu
ment in support of it.
At the close of Mr. Blair's speech, Mr.
Faulkner obtained the floor to speak on
tho bill and the senate adjourned.

ASSAULTED BY HER RIVALS.
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 20. A few
nights since Miss Lydia Coons, who lives
on Jefferson street near Twelfth, was as
saulted on Eighth street by two women
and sandbagged until she was unconscious.
Her assailants were cutting off her hair

a nouse not far distant and a doctor mm
moued. Her injuries vver not fatal,
tnougn severe. Miss Coon failed to rec
ognize her ussailants, who disappeared
hurriedly, bat she has her suspicions.
Chief Jr-peers declined to say anything con
cerning the affair except that it hart been
reported to him mid the young iauy aia i
not care to hi.ve the affair appear in print.
It i rumored that jealousy caused the as- j
sanlt on Miss Cooas. 'Ivro danvei5 no
had received attention from J. W. Homes.
n west side young man who is connected
with the freight department of a railroad,
became angry and jealous with the gentle
man because he transferred his affections
from them to Miss Coons. Consequently
they "laid" for 3Iis3 Coons and asMu!td

had been discontinued.

THE FLOUR OUTPUT.
Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 2a Th
Northwestern Miller says: Considering tho
condition of trade the mills last week
ground s remarkable large amount of
flour. The aggregate output of the week
was 1ST, &)0 barrels, against 115,SS0 barrels
the week before and SS,i0 barrels for the
same-time in 18S9. For the five mouths
ending January Si last the output ot tho
Minnesota mills was 3,173,825 barrels,
against 2,64S,7C0 barrels for the same period
last year and 2,902.050 barrels in 1SS7SS.
Tho exports for the five months wera
more than double that of la?t year- and
even exceeded that of 1SS7-SS, which was
by all regarded as a most favorable season.
A large number of merchant mills all over
the country have materially reduced their
output and production for the current
mouth promises to how quite a decrc ie.
The Miuneapolis mills are running some
what lighter this week. The flour market
is as Hat as ever, the sales being small as
compared with tho manufacture. But
millers . are beginning to feel that
wheat has has about toadied
bottom and with any firmness
of the market an improved demand for
flour is looked for. What few orders
coming are small and scattering. Hardly
anything is being sold for export. Soma
biii are made for bakers, but in most
cases they are one-third lower than can be
accepted.
